Chapter 392 Who is Xu Qi'an? (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)
"The supervisor has left?"

The Imperial Observatory and the Star-Gazing Platform.

Wu Xian transformed into a long rainbow and fell to this place, but he quickly frowned.

This was because, in his perception, apart from an elderly man with white hair dressed in hemp robes and wearing a tall Confucian hat, there was no other extraordinary aura on the observatory of the Imperial Observatory.

As for the old man's identity, he was naturally not the second-generation supervisor of the Great Feng Dynasty who was the embodiment of the will of Heaven, but the dean of Yunlu Academy, a Confucian expert whose cultivation had reached the third rank of the Establishing Life Realm, Zhao Shou.

Just as Emperor Yuanjing had thought, in the capital of Dafeng, the only people who could directly obstruct the supervisor were the powerful Confucian scholars who possessed the relics of the Confucian sage.

Yunlu Academy was founded by the great disciple of the Confucian sage, and it enshrines two treasures: the Confucian sage's carving knife and the Confucian sage's Confucian hat.

At the same time, Zhao Shou, the dean, was already at the third-grade Life Establishment Realm. After receiving the blessing of these two treasures, his strength increased significantly, making him able to contend with most first-grade experts in a short period of time.

Although the Supervisor is strong, he cannot instantly kill a first-rank combatant. Moreover, the Confucian system is known for having no weaknesses, making it a true all-rounder. Furthermore, it can also counteract many of the sorcerer's methods by modifying the rules.

Only in this way could the Director of the Imperial Observatory be firmly blocked at the entrance of the Observatory, preventing him from going to the palace to rescue Emperor Yuanjing.

Unfortunately, in terms of raw power, the supervisor was ultimately superior. Although he was blocked from going to the palace by Zhao Shou, leaving was still quite easy for him.

Just then, Wu Xian killed Emperor Yuanjing, causing turmoil in the Great Feng court. Zhao Shou was slightly distracted, and the supervisor took this opportunity to break through the Confucian constraints and disappear from the Imperial Observatory using a teleportation array. No one knows where he went.

After hearing Zhao Shou's explanation, Wu Xian was somewhat bewildered.

Now that the dust has settled, it can be said that the game that the supervisor had meticulously planned for many years has been largely overturned by him.

To be honest, Wu Xian had imagined the supervisor's reaction afterward, whether he would choose to cooperate with him or completely turn against him... But now, what does it mean to just run away with the bucket?
Could it be that the other party secretly glanced at the future, realized they were no match for him, and therefore chose to retreat?

The thought of this possibility left Wu Xian feeling both amused and exasperated.

What's the point of this? Escaping is shameful, but what good does it do?
To be honest, Wu Xian really couldn't think of a way to deal with the supervisor's bizarre actions.

After all, as the embodiment of the will of Heaven and a first-rank Heavenly Fate Master, the Supervisor may not be considered to be in the top tier of the Great Feng World in terms of combat power, but when it comes to escaping and hiding one's whereabouts, even the Super Rank might not dare to claim victory.

In any case, Wu Xian has no way to find him unless he completely destroys the Great Feng Dynasty, but that is obviously impossible.

Shaking his head, Wu Xian stopped worrying about the supervisor's position. After all, the other party's goal was to create a "gatekeeper," and as long as Xu Qi'an was still alive...

Suddenly, Wu Xian seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed abruptly, and before he could greet Zhao Shou, his body transformed into a long rainbow and flew towards a certain place in the capital.

……

On the outskirts of the capital, at the Xu residence.

Xu Xinnian had just returned home not long ago and told his mother and two younger sisters what he had seen at the execution ground in Caishikou. He was extremely excited, especially when he talked about Wu Xian going to the palace to kill Emperor Yuanjing, his eyes showed a hint of admiration.

"Brother Wu is truly sacrificing himself for righteousness. If he can kill that tyrannical and incompetent ruler this time and rid the court of this scourge, how can we not sweep away the accumulated evils and restore the glory of the Great Feng Dynasty in the future!"

"You child! What nonsense are you talking about!"

A beautiful woman dressed in purple, with exceptional charm, who was Xu Xinnian's mother, Li Ru, immediately stepped forward and covered her beloved son's mouth upon hearing this. She then cautiously looked around, seemingly to confirm that no one else had overheard, before letting out a sigh of relief and complaining:

"Whether the emperor is good or bad, what does it have to do with a scholar like you who has no official rank? You should use this time to study hard and pass the imperial examinations... And that Wu Xian, you're not allowed to associate with him anymore. How dare he threaten to kill the emperor in public? He must be out of his mind!" Well, Wu Xian knows the Xu family. After all, Wu Xian didn't awaken his cheat ability before, and he was worried about losing his life in the future calamity, so he made friends with the Xu family early on, hoping to get on the protagonist's good side.

"Mother, how could you say that about Brother Wu!"

Xu Lingyue, the second daughter of the Xu family, frowned and said, "Didn't you hear what my brother said just now? It was Emperor Yuanjing who ordered those court officials to harm the people. As long as such an emperor lives, who knows how many innocent people will die in vain. Who knows, one day it might be our Xu family's turn..."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! You're just as bad at talking!"

Li Ru's eyebrows furrowed, and her large, piercing eyes stared at her usually well-behaved daughter, only to find that the girl was unyielding, staring straight at her with a stubborn look in her eyes.

Xu Lingyin, the youngest sister of the Xu family, watched her mother and older sister staring at each other, tilted her head, reached out and touched the tea and snacks beside her sister, and thought to herself with delight:

"My sister is playing games with Mom, so she probably doesn't have an appetite. All these snacks are mine!"

On the other side, Li Ru and Xu Lingyue stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Li Ru realized she was in the wrong and was the first to back down, muttering somewhat guiltily:
"Of course I know that the boy surnamed Wu is a good person, but he is too reckless. He actually went straight to the palace to kill the emperor. Now that he's gone, I don't know if he'll ever come back..."

Om-! !

Just then, a strange buzzing sound came from their ears. The Xu family members felt a blur before their eyes, and a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

Li Ru's words caught in her throat, and then her gaze fell on the blood-red longsword in his hand, causing her to involuntarily swallow.

Holy crap! Ha!

"Brother Wu!" —x2
Without a doubt, the visitor was Wu Xian. Upon seeing him, the Xu siblings exclaimed with delight and then asked him questions.

"Is Emperor Yuanjing dead?"

Are you alright?

Wu Xian didn't answer, but frowned and looked around. A quick scan with his divine sense didn't reveal Xu Qi'an's whereabouts, so he turned to Xu Xinnian and asked seriously:
"Where's your older brother for the New Year? I couldn't find him at the yamen. Do you know where he went?"

"Big brother?"

Xu Xinnian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at his mother and sister beside him and saw that they also looked blank. He then hesitated and said to Wu Xian, "Brother Wu, I am an only child and I don't have any brothers. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian's pupils contracted slightly, and then he asked again in a deep voice, "I'm talking about your cousin Xu Qi'an. You should have heard of him by now, right?"

"Xu Qian'an..."

Xu Xinnian repeated these three words, his eyes momentarily dazed, but then he frowned in thought, and after a long while shook his head again, saying:
“My Xu family doesn’t have this relative. Maybe there’s someone in the clan with this name, but we’ll have to wait for my father to come back and ask him to find out.”

Wu Xian remained silent, then shook his head and chuckled.

Shielding the secrets of heaven...

Ha! What a supervisor, what a divine will! He's practically stolen the protagonist away!

Alright, alright, so this is how you play it? Well then, I'll see what kind of tricks you're up to!
